Abstract

This study aimed to identify the impact of Instagram in general and the exposure of videos broadcasted on it, particularly on developing their social skills, by preparing a comparative study between the Emarati and Egyptian youth.
 It also affects their communication skills with others. Many studies have proven that social media sites have an advantage in enhancing the interactive abilities of individuals with others, giving them the freedom to express opinions, providing them with the opportunity to transfer their experiences, and put them up for discussions with their friends.
This study reached the most important results: the study sample’s general confirmation of the ability to communicate with others and the ease of expressing their point of view through the Instagram site. It has also proven that the study sample’s exposure to social media sites in general and the Instagram site in particular, especially young people from the Emirati public, has been proven. The factors and variables of learning theory affect the development of social skills and explain to us approximately 29% of the reasons for acquiring and how to develop social skills among Arab youth in general, whether Egyptian or Emirati.
